TravelRe: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by OgbeniOptional(m): 11:25am On Dec 12, 2023
The truth is, the social media fools and useless tiktokers are part of why rules are changing. If u understand covert racism/discrimination, you will these countries do not want Nigeria. No government would be happy when you openly talk about the loopholes in their policies. A manager in health and social care told me their international recruitment's direct them that they shouldn’t accept applications from Nigeria and Zimbabwe but they can accept from Ghana, SA and those Asian countries like Philippines, he said he doesn’t understand why he has to reject good applicants because of that. They won’t come out to say we don’t want Nigerians or Zimbabweans nah but they filter applications.


The day I caught one British nurse watching Daddy freeze on YouTube ehn, Mo fo. The way we demonize our continent is at our own disadvantage. They will never respect us and u will never be accepted to this British culture even make u later become citizen, no matter how u try

where is lexus in all of this analysis?

Be like you dey vacation in spain?
U fit love this country more than the locals? U better make your money and be happy. I relate with colleagues who are locals and talk politics and the reasons Rishi seems to be better to them than Boris is that he never partied during Covid and never lied to the queen or something. I also feel Starmer is promising some things that are not %100 realistic. Who even take politicians serious nowadays?

Abeg I want to understand something o, assuming someone is on graduate visa and his family are already in UK. Let’s say he got sponsorship in healthcare after spring, will the UK send dependents back home? I have people panicking over this really.
TravelRe: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by OgbeniOptional(m): 12:48am On Nov 29, 2023
I don’t know about any other place o, but if you work in NHS, if you really know what you are doing and show interest, you can go far higher than you think. It might take time but you can go far. Our director of nursing, a Nigerian started from HCA, he didn’t come with study but all these spousal visa thing then, worked his way up and 18 years later, he’s our director of nursing.

I’m starting band 4 or nursing degree next year depending on funding availability for the nursing degree as there are crazy competition for it and I project to be a nurse in 4/5 years. I also have the option to enroll for Education mental health practitioner trainee next year and after 1 year study I become band 5 EMHP working in schools which is not my thing. Yes it’s taking time but I’m not paying for it. It my manager who is recommending these options for us but sadly these oyinbo people are not really bothered about progression. what some people take for granted in elearning courses and attending training, I take it very seriously and always finish them ahead of time. I got my eyes on other stuff too and in fact other japa opportunities but I’m still here and if top jobs are not showing in my field, I should be walking my way up with what I have got.

A top guy from naija who started with care with nhs and when he saw a hotel service manager job posting recently from same trust that he qualified for, he applied and got the job. The thing is, there are massive opportunities for most fields in health and social care in UK, I know for some, age can be a factor but still It takes patience and we will be alright. Please not all hca/hcsw dey wash yansh o, im hca in mental health and I never see poop before

The people ruling this country don’t know what they want. Majority of the citizens have no clue about what they even want. The blame culture in this country scares me a lot, constantly looking for who to blame when things go wrong for their own ineffectiveness.

The can for sure if the guy stop being a Doctor where the lady was a patient. You can be responsible for someone you are dating medically & professionally


frog12:
the UK is quite strict.
what after the patient disengages from the hospital, can they have a relationship with the medical personnel?
HealthRe: Ewere Onyekpe: UK Authorities Punish Nigerian Doctor Over Sex With Patient by OgbeniOptional(m): 7:32pm On Oct 21, 2023
Shut the mess. Unethical, unprofessional and irresponsible and breach of whatever trust he’s working for policies. How can you have sexual relationship with your patient? Consensual or not. Sexual relationships is frown upon in my trust even colleagues to colleagues no matter how consensual it is. Open your head and stop saying nonsense


KillIgbohoN0W:
Oga go to your simp slave mentality section abeg.
The only reason this man will allow this rubbish is the fear of returning to this useless country.

His statement clearly says it was consensual & the bitch never claimed rape so wetin concern authorities if not hatred for his skin colour?? When he rang her doorbell why didn't she call police or neighbours for help? How did the hoe pass through the front desk to return to the hospital again?

If their fellow Brit did this exact same thing they will tag it "beautiful romance between doctor and his patient". Teachers marry their students of 15 years gap over there but a Black man can't try such.

Get the Bleep away from my mention abeg!

bigtt76:
Una nor de fok? Funny as it may sound, but it is the truth. I don't know the cause of your quarrels though but I think if she say she doesn't like you ignoring her during such quarrels ...try to be the bigger person and don't ignore her. Never leave the house in anger or sleep over a quarrel. Sometimes just a hug and some knacks would resolve the whole issue. Also try to initiate moves to see the gynecologist if conceiving is an issue ...this is one of the causes of tension in newly weds. God bless your marriage.

Updated..
Before I forget ...you guys should sign up to go see a professional marriage counsellor that is if you try playing the bigger person to resolve the issue doesn't work out. Think of what she loves best, order it and get it delivered to her at work or at home. Ladies love surprises. Try to knack too ...inside kitchen or where she least expect in the house ooo grin
TravelRe: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by OgbeniOptional(m):
Hmmm, I have a friend whom his wife called police 3 times, police came twice search him and his property and stuff, nothing was found based on her allegations, third time she called police, husband brought out loads of video evidence and police asked why he didn’t show them the first time that they would have believe the wife in absence of evidence. Police evicted that lady and ask my guy if they want them to prosecute her for domestic violence but my guy said what will I tell my son that I send her mother to court/jail? Police told him to sign that he agreed not to take the matter up. Na the wife them evict for two weeks and she had been acting normal since then. As a man don’t hit or touch a woman, make sure you are doing the right thing. Make sure you have evidence to defend yourself for future.

Also, I find this country very depressing for couple partly cuz our expectations are high but left disappointed. We work so much that we forget to have time for each other cuz we got bills and responsibilities back home. All those little little outings for Naija is underrated. The accumulation of those bad feelings might cuz issues.

justwise:
His evidence matters when there is violence on both sides. Not only women suffer violence in this country, men do as well but too ashamed to speak out.

Apt, people know the truth, people just choose to choose their own narrative. Legal in US and not legal in Nigeria doesn’t mean he forged it! How is this hard to understand?


Mynd44:
He has said the facts himself. The so-called forged documents are legal where the person is coming from.

If I have a baby aborted while in the US, you cannot bring a case against me in Nigeria as it is not a crime where it happened.

Plus, the moment the document was taken back to the school to certify it affirms their permission

You’re A Confused Man, What Did I Just Read? My God! You Won’t Get Mad If You Saw A Man On Top Of Your Wife? “A Woman Can Cheat/Wander So Far It’s Not Affecting The Home,” Are You Really Okay? God! This Man Is Finished!
No I won't, so far it doesn't affect my home and I won't. You just add yourself to people who think i'm mad. I won't just kill myself before death. What do you think would happen If an average man catch another man on top of his woman? Kill the man is what I can think of, then go to jail?

FamilyRe: Is It Ethical To Spy If You Think Your Spouse Is Cheating? by OgbeniOptional(m):
Had to erased my last comment but the summary is anything can happen and I'd love to die a peaceful man. It's not worth it trying to find out if your woman is cheating. We are all a potential murderer regardless of our faith if we are challenged in a scenario that could make u kill
but knowing fully well anything can happen will calm our nerves when it happen and that goes a long way

Tinubu was not an incumbent.Buhari was not contesting.Tinubu didn't not win because he had so many baggages, ran away from interviews,that's why he lost at home and couldn't even get 25% in Abuja
I believe APC was and is still in power. Was 25% in Abuja mandatory? Was interview a requirement to win an election? I think he played his game according to how he knows can win. Like I said fingers crossed.

How u wan take win Tinubu in court is what I'm greatly interested in, more so as a sitting president? I believed he won the election due to disunity in PDP. You need to be united as opposition to defeat an incumbent at federal level in Nigeria. Anyways, fingers crossed but I'd not get carried away by this initial gra gra sha

Cuz what u earn is community money in Nigeria, u pay for your mother’s brother’s Son/Daughter’s Waec fees, school fees etc. u pay that scarce cash for your children school fees and lesson fees, clothes etc. it is by grace of God to have one low budget 3 bed flat and probably one 1990s Audi or bwm after retirement as a civil servant without corruption in Nigeria. The sad part is most of those lunatic childrens are forming woke to that same parents who sacrificed their sweat. I would do anything for my parent. They suffered a lot

PoliticsRe: What Is Your Take On The Fuel Subsidy Removal? by OgbeniOptional(m): 11:48am On Jun 01, 2023
Regardless of who is removing this subsidy, either Bubu or Bat. Subsidy just need to go. One guy for my area went into bunkering and shit and the guy is a billionaire. Imagine u stole it and govt still pay subsidy on stolen commodity. Procrastinating on this subsidy will only give the beneficiary more time to lobby people in Govt. Buari tried to remove it many times but lobbying thieves won’t let it be. Also, people should downsize their cars, it’s crazy how 1 person can own more than 3 cars in Nigeria. People with minimum wage have no business with cars if we want to be honest with each other. I only want minimum wage to be nothing less than #100,000, open borders fully cuz I don’t understand how imported rice is cheaper than homegrown after border closure, cbn should use daily black market rate for exchange rate too and watch how exchange rates will go back to near 2015 rate. Lastly, we Nigerians run, some of us are just plain wicked but as usual we always find someone else to blame. How can u hoard fuel u bought in old price from depot just to make x5 profit? Maybe it’s when people starts burning one or two stations hoarding fuel. Them go get sense. I just don’t like how some few people do evil and make the people blame govt. nonsense

Tell your friend not to add any cover letter. Apply for PSW and hope for the best. I still never met anyone denied PSW on that ground though. I’m not encouraging anyone but I get upset till today that friends who did more than 20hours steadily got a faster successful application response on PSW than me wey obey. Life is not fair, also u can be the scapegoat

Strata1716:
Good morning everyone,

please my friend unfortunately had to work more than 20 hours because the bills were too much and he’s also the first child of the family so he had to pay siblings school fees and take care of his family back home in Nigeria.

He only started Working 34 hours after lectures was over and they were writing dissertation as he had exhausted every savings so needed money badly, It’s time for psw but he’s scared of doing the Visa because he doesn’t want to be caught and deported.

I’ve told him to try his luck and see what happens but he’s saying he doesn’t want to risk it, please is there any way for him to explain to the VO maybe in a cover letter or something else why he had to work those hours,

is it a bit better that he started working past 20 hours after lectures but during dissertation writing, can he also get a care sponsorship job as it is 2 months before the expiration of his visa and he’s been trying for weeks to get a care job but no luck.

Please don’t ignore as all advise are welcomed and my friend is very depressed now, we are trying to help but scared he might unalive himself because the financial pressure of going back to Nigeria might be too much.
